I prefer their DSL connection, and for the rare days when my modem isn't behaving or I have the need, I utilize their SMS4NET service (http://www.mylink.net.pk/Services/SMS4NET.aspx) I think LDN has changed tremendously in the recent months and also they are venturing out and have no hidden charges on their packages which is an added bonus for customers who are sick and tired of paying 1500 rupees for a 1200 rupees connection.

If yes then I must ask you about your experience that you had with Link Dot Net speed? But if you have not tasted it then you must read this blog post http://linkdotnet.wordpress.com/2008/04/26/link-dot-net-linknet-disconnection-problems/ which was written by an un-happy customer who has shared on-going internet disconnection issues with Link Dot Net. I am using 1 Mbps package for home DSL but the internet speed of downloading is just limited to 5-8 k and upload speed is around 4-6k. It means that people will be paying for high speed DSL connection but they will enjoy an internet speed which is equivalent or even lesser than a common dial-up connection. Another major problem with Link Dot Net is internet disconnection. The connection session automatically expires in two minutes and you will have to restart your ADSL device again for reconnection. My job belongs to e-commerce and I can do nothing without a high speed internet connection but my job really suffered a lot during April. In such circumstances I will switch to some DSL providing company. But I want suggesting you all not to use Link Dot Net internet services and it will be much better if you opt to use an ordinary dial up-connection. I am sure you will not have disconnection issues with it and the internet speed will also be faster than Link Dot Net’s DSL connection. Thanks for your attention. Hello all,

I know they have pretty fine team working with experience, but things like these require "exposure" to various things like advanced market setups, segement development & continious re-engineering rather than experience of working somewhere for 12 years. That's one of our weak points here in Pakistan, experience takes over exposure hence the product blowups (Wateen WiMAX) and late understanding of the market innovation (understanding the market "situation" is different from understanding market "innovation") when all skips blind in front of you and then the companies wakeup to the calls and to your point of limited awareness on the consumer end. Marketing strategy can we centralized to a single point. Unilever Pakistan is a seprate concern but Branding & Marketing strategy for most of their brands follows from their Regional Team sitting outside of Pakistan. In the same spirit of things OT can co-locate Marketing & Branding Strategy for Pakistan to Mobilink as their Regional Marketing Strategy Unit.

I think OT has been the market leader and they might be fully aware of unifying their BRAND name. I'm not the part of their team but all their branding and marketing activities shows their higher and broader visions. LDN or Mobilink or xyz.... the thumb rule, i think is their after sale services, all the effort and resources whichever company puts in, they expect their product to be a HIT...but in technology related products specially telecom or dataservices consumer has a continous interaction with the company. So as far as I can conclude whoever can educate the target audience about their product along with assured AFTER-SALES services can be the next player specially in Data-Services. As I am not in PK now, so I dont know the precise situation of market players. But people atleast Pakistan has significantly developed when it comes to the number of BTS towers all across the country. As far as WiMAX is concerned, what i think , people might face a double-minded situation. How, If broadband services can make a good impression and on the otherhand when the facility would get wire-less... bingo... at least me with a limited knowledge will stand in middle of no where. Limited awareness can cause such outcomes, anyhow, maturity of a certain product highly depends on time and let us all hope it ends Well as we are the beneficiaries.
